Mango Ginger Green Iced Tea



Refreshing!

 
Refreshing, with a little spice is how I would describe this Mango Ginger Green Iced Tea. I love tea, and I must admit, it's a little addiction I have. 

I collect teas, and me and my Baby Girl have these little tea parties. We always make a nice cup of tea and little sandwiches and don't forget my Lemon Glazed Southern Teacakes. 


The key to creating a great cup of tea, well, is great tea! I love my Yogi Tea. I get motivation and a nice cup of tea in one sitting.


Bring a large pot of water to boil. Place the tea bags in the water, cover pot, turn off heat and steep for about 10 minutes. Pour the mango puree into the tea and add extra sugar if desired.


Pour tea over a picture of ice and garnish with mint and mango slices.


I have my cute little sandwiches, some hot fresh teacakes and my Mango Ginger Green Iced Tea. This is turning out to be a perfect Sunday!
